Rio Vista Church - Fort Lauderdale (FL)

Anna Da Costa This church is much, much more than a church. It is a family of believers who pour out Gods love to all who come in. This is a powerful and prayerful family that cares, encourages and lifts you up! From the pastor right down to the youngest member, you get love so pure it makes your heart jump with the joy of the lord. The worship is beautiful and the teaching of the word fills your heart to overflowing. It is a blessing!

Ariel W. The First Christian Church of Ft Lauderdale was started by Maude Bollinger and Ruth Repp who offered Sunday school classes on Repps front porch to the Ft Lauderdale community which was only 143 people at that time. Church services were held at several locations in Ft. Lauderdale including the old Fort Lauderdale Sentinel building. In 1925, a benefactor donated land for a church at the corner of Southeast 13th Street and Southeast Third Avenue on the site of a former rock pit. Lumber to build the church arrived on Sept. 16, 1926. The very next day the Hurricane of 1926 destroyed the church records, lumber, the tent they were working out of, and all of their equipment. Two children and two adult members of the congregation lost their lives. The church rose from this devastating loss and completed the church building in 1927. A later expanded building incorporates the original church structure. I love a historic church and I was able to check out First Christian Church of Ft Lauderdale during a tag sale. They held the sale in their basement! I was amazed that there was a building with an actual basement in South Florida. The congregation was so warm and welcoming and I got invited to church service by Katherine. This church is gorgeous and you can feel the history within its walls. Church services are held every Sunday at 10:45.

Rafael Diaz I cannot express enough how much this congregation has helped me. The organization and the people are the kindest and most authentically caring I have ever encountered. I am proud to be part of this community and invite anyone and everyone to come and see.

Mind’s Eye Day Spa Inc. A welcoming place of peace. Participating in daily rosary and daily mass has helped me tremendous in my wellness journey.

Danell McKeel This church and their volunteer do nothing less than a miracle for homeless people. They have a soup kitchen, and they bring in portable showers and give clothing to the less fortunate. Thanks to all that pass on to help other. Thank you Evelyn Torrey for bringing my attention to this wonder place!

Tonya Williams I love my church and church family! I have attended Mt. Olive since I was 16 years old. Beautiful church family. If youre looking for a church home this is the church. Our pastor is an excellent pastor along with the rest of the Mt. Olive staff. Dont let the negative reviews discourage you from visiting our church in person or online. If you notice, the Negative reviews comes from people who never leaves reviews but took the time to try and bash our church.... they have a total of 1-2 reviews. I leave reviews, no matter good or bad. Review history of a person tells a story about who they are somewhat and thats my opinion and how I judge an establishment before I go.
